Awful, it is about time someone came up with an original idea for a movie. The gross out scenes of Drew throwing up...... geez nothing that hasn't been rehashed over and over again. This movie doesn't do anyone talented (i.e., Drew... Full review

My favorite scene was when the old lady burned up his lap top computer. Then he took it outside and then a vehicle ran over it. His publists thought that he was making up a big lie. Then I love the... Full review

Duplex," from 2003, is just as bad. You add up all these unpleasant people, and you get one decidedly unpleasant picture. Until a shady real-estate agent (Harvey Fierstein) shows them an apartment that's too good to be true. ... Full Review

The movie feels awfully tired and stale, as we go through an escalating series of challenges and torments that afflict the young couple. Much of the film demonstrated a fairly natural but subdued palette. ... Full Review

Slant Magazine
Essentially a 90-minute pilot episode for a rejected TV sitcom, Duplex is watchable only for Essel's ridiculous performance as the film's geriatric monster.....Duplex is the better DVD experience.....a three-minute "Behind the Scenes Special" that's really a montage of banal behind-the-scenes footage set to music;....It's interesting that Buena Vista Home Video will release Duplex on the same day as Cold Creek Manor .....a tenant harasses a frustrated artist and his spouse before someone makes a killing wri ...

Those were just acting roles that leveraged the stereotype of the nasty Napoleon. We might assume it was no reflection on his personality that he was cast as the diabolical dispatcher in the TV series "Taxi. ... Full Review

Three working fireplaces. A 19th-century oak writer's nook. A stained glass window, featuring pretty little bluebirds, no less. The duplex in Brooklyn looks perfect. And so does the couple moving into it, successful first time novelist Alex Rose (Ben Stiller)... ... Full Article

There's a battle between actors at the box office this weekend, which wouldn't be unusual except neither one is actually acting. Danny DeVito and Peter Berg, who have each starred in dozens of movies over the years, will go head-to-head... ... Full Article
